[etni] Banish those December chills with heart-warming music

Banish those December chills with heart-warming music
Haaretz - November 24, 2006

Performer Aoife Clancy, best known for her fusion of traditional Celtic and American music, will be headlining this year's Jacob's Ladder Winter Weekend on December 8 and 9. Clancy, the daughter of Irish music legend Bobby Clancy of the popular 1960s Irish folk music singing group the Clancy Brothers, is traveling to Israel for the first time to perform at the Nof Ginosar festival.

A biannual event also known as the Anglo Mimouna, Jacob's Ladder has been holding a spring festival geared towards folk-music lovers in Israel for nearly 30 years. This is their third indoor winter festival and is considered more intimate than the large-scale production that will take place in May.

The festival will also feature Kahol, an Israeli Celtic band led by Uri Miles that fuses Irish and Scottish tunes with Middle Eastern rhythms and sounds. Eitan Glickman, vocalist for Slipjig, will perform Irish pub songs with members of Black Velvet.
